I had crown treatment months ago and my tooth is very painful, what is causing this?

Q.
I had a crown put on about a year and half ago, straight after I was in pain and had to take anti biotics. It has never really felt right since, but then the tooth next to it needed a crown, so that was done. The first one carried on hurting over the months so I asked dentist to take the crown off. He did and tried to put another one on, but it was too painful so I asked hon to leave it off for a while. The pain is shill bad burning and aching all the time. It hurts more when I lay down at night. He did another root canal on it but it has made no difference. What should I do now please as dentist says it can only be one of the teeth needing root canal, but I am in so much agony around the gum and bit of tooth that is left and it’s hurting my jaw as well I think. Thank you.

It sounds like a crack or an abscess I would probably get the tooth removed and consider replacement after a 6 month healing period
